When Poetry First Began

I could Google it, of course, and expand upon it then, Upon another's theory of how poetry began. The truth is no one really knows when poetry first started. Those pre-historic folks who knew have eons ago departed. So bear with me and I'll tell you what I firmly believe is true. God put poetry into humans when the Earth was very new. Mother Eve first sang sweet lullabies to her darlings, Cain and Abel, While they fed their pet dinosaurs beneath the dining table. Why would God leave the love of art out of the human heart When he already knew to always put the horse before the cart? Can you guess how dark the world would be with sadistic poetry ban? Common sense tells me God installed it into Adam, the first man.

Joyce, Congratulations on your nice win. Thank you for all the time you took supporting and entering my contest this past year 2015:-) I'm taking, this time, to explain how I really enjoyed every entry. I truly wanted to place every poem, but two with high placements. However, it is a contest and with all the bickering going on about the way we judge our contest. I did not place everyone the way I wanted to in this contest. I do APOLOGIZE. Please don't be upset if you are sharing a placement or did not make the top 10. I feel every poem, should have been placed high. Stop by my latest Blog "Favorite Type of Poem" when you'd like or have time. Celebrate by sharing with us, Your Favorite type of poem. Have A Blessed Year. Love SKAT
